If you’re ready to advance in your career, earning DANB certification is a smart next step.
DANB is pleased to announce that there will be no exam fee increases in 2015. However, in order to keep up with inflation and rising operating costs, DANB’s Board of Directors has approved moderate exam fee increases, effective Jan. 1, 2016.
“As a nonprofit organization, DANB takes its fiduciary responsibilities to exam candidates and certificants seriously,” explains DANB’s Executive Director Cindy Durley, M.Ed., MBA. “DANB has not raised exam fees since 2011, and we are proud of our success at holding these costs down for five years.”The first step to earning DANB’s Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) certification is to download and review the CDA application packet."
When you’re ready to create your study plan, a good place to start is by reviewing DANB’s exam blueprints and exam reference materials.
The DALE Foundation, the official DANB affiliate, offers online review courses and study aids for each component of the CDA exam. To learn more, visit the DALE Foundation’s product catalog.
